From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I was really hoping for a better onscreen keyboard solution for Linux. Turns out it’s awful for both Plasma and Gnome.

gjs-osk gnome extension is extremely good but i hate gnome

The osk fails to pop up when using apps like Cider. Probably something to do with electron.

For both gnome and plasma.

Does not help with full screen kiosk apps. Its broken. Plain and simple.

gjs-osk has a swipe up from the bottom gesture

[–] zelifcam 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Yes it does. And my touch monitor has protruded bezel at the bottom. It’s nearly impossible to initiate. Can that gesture be changed? That’s about where I left off on my last attempt.
